As the search continues to find who will play the first Avenger, Captain America in The First Avenger: Captain America, Marvel Studios is still making moves to cast their movie.  And the latest is a goddamn’d master stroke.

Wearing the red skull of the Red Skull will be non other than go-to awesome villain actor Hugo Weaving.

I can’t say a single bad thing about this casting. It rules SUPER hard, and I can’t wait to see Weaving chew up scenery in this film.  He’s built quite the nerd friendly resume with The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, V for Vendetta and this past February’s remake of The Wolfman, and now Weaving will make his mark in the world of Marvel.

It should rule. Hard.
